On whether he thinks Donovan McNabb is the best quarterback for this team going forward:

What Andy said: ``As we talk today, I feel very good about Donovan. I think Donovan had a heck of a year. My hat’s off to him.’’ What Andy meant: ``Let me get back to you on that after I talk to Joe.’’

On whether he finds some comfort in the fact that he has made it to the NFC Championship Game 5 times since many people didn’t think he’d ever win a playoff game:

What Andy said: ``I don’t even go there. This is not a grudge match against anybody. All I care about is whatever I can bring and this football team can bring to win a championship. I’m not in it for vindication or anything else. I don’t go there. It’s not my style.’’ What Andy meant: ``Up yours, Philadelphia. You’re stuck with me for at least a couple more years.’’

On whether it becomes increasingly frustrating for him when they get this close and don’t make it:

What Andy said: ``I can’t tell you that I’m the happiest guy in Philadelphia right now. I can’t tell you that. I’m disappointed we’re not moving on. I can’t compare it to another time.’’ What Andy meant: ``I haven’t felt this depressed since Wendy’s discontinued the super cheese jalapeno burger.’’

What Andy said: ``Brian wasn’t limited yesterday. Brian was out there. He was our starting tailback. He looked like he had some zip yesterday.

Just because he had only six 100-yard rushing and receiving games the entire season? Just because he averaged only 2.4 yards per carry in the playoffs? Whachu talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?
